THE CALENDAR COLLECTION 
12 varieties “A Plant for Every Month.’* $7.00. 
Surely every garden should have something of interest throughout the twelve 
months of the year, whether it be flower, berry, color of bark or foliage, for Nature 
does offer something of interest during each of the different months. 
In January, Berberis ilicifolia (Holly-leaved Berberis) a semi-evergreen, the 
foliage of which closely resembles the favorite holly, changes its color to a bright red¬ 
dish green. The brilliant reel bark of the Cornus alba, in February, contrasted against 
the snow of the passing Winter, reminds us of the vitality concealed within its dor¬ 
mant branches. 
March, the first month of Spring, is always heralded by the bursting out of the 
small, fur-like catkins along the branches of the Pussy Willow, and during the warm 
days of April we welcome the bright yellow, star-like flowers of the Golden Bell. The 
Garland flower, fragrant as the Arbutus with its dainty, pink blossoms, makes its 
appearance in May, while in June, the month of garden flowers, nothing is more in¬ 
teresting than Lilac, villosa with its large panicles of fragrant pink flowers. 
Hydrangea arborescens with its immense white flower, withstands the heat and 
dryness of July and should enjoy a place of prominence in the garden, with the lilac- 
colored flowers of the Butterfly Bush, which follow it in August. 
The branches of the Desmodium are covered with red and violet blooms in Sep¬ 
tember and with the approach of frost and cold weather, the Fall Chrysanthemums 
bring charm and cheer to the otherwise flowerless garden during October. 
The flowering season past, we must turn to the berried plants and the Euonymus 
alatus and Japanese Barberry offer in November and December their beautiful orange- 
colored and scarlet fruits.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING 
1. Do not allow roots to be exposed to the 
sun, drying winds, or frost. 
2. Prune, with a sharp clean cut, any 
broken or injured roots. 
3. Have the holes dug large enough to 
admit all the roots without cramping. 
4. Plant in fine loam, enriched with thor¬ 
oughly decomposed manure. 
5. Do not allow any green unfermented 
manure to come in contact with roots. 
6. Spread out the roots in their natural 
position, and work fine loam in among 
them, making it firm and compact. 
7. Do not. plant too deep. Let upper 
roots be set an inch lower than before. 
8. Remove all broken branches, and cut 
back at least one half of the previous 
year’8 growth of wood. 
9. If the season lacks the usual rainfall, 
water thoroughly twice a week. 
10. After-culture! Keep soil in a good 
degree of fertility. Mulching the trees 
in Autumn with manure is beneficial.
